The NI ELVIS II is an electronics prototyping platform with analog and digital I/O and several built-in laboratory instruments.
Starting with R2010b, Data Acquisition Toolbox supports the analog and digital I/O subsystems on ELVIS II.
This submission extends the base support, and allows you to access the following built-in instruments directly from MATLAB:
* Variable Power Supply
* Function Generator
* Digital Multimeter
The following Multimeter measurements are supported:
* DC Voltage
* AC Voltage
* DC Current
* AC Current
* Resistance
* Diode
* Continuity
Sample usage:
% --- Configure variable power supply ---
vps = elvis.VarPowSupply;
vps.Vpos = 5; % set the positive supply to +5V
vps.Vneg = -9; % set the negative supply to -9V
% --- Configure Function Generator ---
fg = elvis.Fgen;
fg.Function = 'triangle';
fg.Amplitude = 4; % set amplitude to 4V
fg.Frequency = 2; % set frequency to 2 Hz
fg.start();
pause(1);
fg.stop();
% --- Digital Multimeter ---
dmm = elvis.Multimeter('dcvoltage');
dmm.Range = '10V';
data = dmm.readData();
% --- Digital Multimeter with auto-ranging ---
dmm = elvis.MultimeterAuto('dcvoltage');
data = dmm.readData();
